Is it just us, or is there something very familiar about the character David Tennant voices in an upcoming special episode of British kids’ show Fireman Sam?

He plays Buck Douglas, a spirited, alien-hunting TV presenter who wears a long coat and unleashes chaos when he rolls into the Welsh town of Pontypandy.

Did someone say allons-y?

The special feature-length episode “Alien Alert – The Movie” celebrates 20 years of the animated series about a plucky fire fighter, making it one of the U.K.’s longest-running series (after Doctor Who, of course).

“We are fascinated by the idea of aliens, aren’t we?,” David recently told HuffPost,”the idea that there is something out there that we don’t understand and also that there might be another world like ours but different. It’s tantalizing.

“It’s a little bit scary too, but I think the sense that we don’t want to be alone, you know, we want to feel like there is untold mysteries out there to discover somewhere.”
